King Charles in his Coffin. Think'st thou base slave, though in my grave,
Like other men I lie 1 My sparkling fame and royal name
Can, as thou wishest, die ? Know, caitiff, in my son I live
(The Black Prince call'd by some), And he shall ample vengeance give
On those that did me doom. |
The People in the Pit. Suppress'd, depress'd, involv'd in woes,
Great Charles, thy people be, Basely deceiv'd with specious shows-
By those that murther'd thee. We are enslav'd to tyrants' hests,
Who have our freedom won : Our fainting hope now only rests
On thy succeeding son, &c. |
